HUDDLE IT

My in-laws are in there 60s still working physical labor jobs and living paycheck to paycheck. They plan to rely on social security until it runs out. It’s awful to think many people are in this situation. Your story gives me hope to start setting aside some Bitcoin savings in their name that they would have left in dollars anyways so they can retire some day

Is #bitcoin gaining value? Or is everything else losing value?🤔

Holy shit, you're my doppelganger! Going through that exact process right now. It's the emotional side of things that's truly trying, especially on her. The stress of losing your house, your life of 40 years, and the realization that you've been betrayed and made a fool of. We just moved her into her new apartment but it was quite the downsize. The adjustment period will take time, and worse yet, the divorce won't be finalized until next year. The enemy within really did a number on our family.
